Viking Kvasir Cruise Reviews

I study history and have wanted to go to Belgium and the Netherlands to see the culture, architecture and art. We have tried a few cruise lines but like Viking the best. The cruise meet are high expectations for Viking. The tour guides were all excellent and fun. The cruise director Chantel was the best. She was full of enthusiasm and fun. She was very interactive with the cruisers. She made the ...

The crew on the ship were very very attentive and helpful in all regards. The wait staff in the restaurant were among the best I have ever seen or experienced. The room attendant's were thorough and friendly. I particularly enjoyed the program director for his port talks and arranging all of the tours. We went on this cruise because Belgium and the Netherlands were two places in Europe that I'd ...

Our good friends invited us to join them on rhis river cruise and we’re so glad they did. The boat was beautiful, the crew was professional and caring, and I can honestly say it was all about the passengers for the entire cruise. The lounge was relaxing, the coffee station was always stocked with goodies, and the dining room accommodated everyone on board comfortably. The upper deck was a great ...

This cruise fit nicely into our schedule and offered us a link to friends we would visit in Capri following the end of the cruise. We were delighted by the variety of events - lectures, excursions, tours - offered as well as the first-class service aboard the Kvasir. The cuisine was excellent as was the dining service. The knowledgeable staff provided us with suggestions for amazing attractions to ...

We have sailed Viking two other times, on the Rhine and Danube. We were looking for a third adventure and Belgium-Holland seemed like a great choice. The scenery was disappointing as this area is very industrial. However, the ports, tour guides and Viking services were top notch. My only slight disappointment was with some of the food. Some portions were huge and others tiny. The mid meal ...

Main 9 night cruise enjoyable, although an excursion of two were definitely sub par ('Nijmagen and WWII' disjointed, and "Arnhem walk' a bit boring). We did the pre excursion to the main cruise (Bruges/Ghent) as well, and their day trip to Flanders was also disappointing. There was an outbreak of sorts (with many coughing at around day 5 or six of cruise), with it affecting about 5 days of ...

Ugh. My mom and I have traveled on Viking several times before COVID, and things have definitely changed. While I realize that the cruise industry was hard hit during the pandemic. things have definitely changed on Viking for the worse. First, there is far less attention to detail - the minimal staff seemed stressed and, at times frustrated that we were there. When we checked in our room smelled ...

This was the trip we were supposed to take in 2020, before the pandemic. We decided to use it - not lose it! I've desired to see the tulips in the Netherlands for many years, and we did visit the gardens in their splendor. Unfortunately, it rained in the middle. We saw many interesting towns, and many churches. We were supposed to visit a diamond cutter in Antwerp as an extra excursion, but he ...

This was our first river cruise. After comparing the cruise lines that provide river cruises, Viking was the clear winner. Now I'm not saying that Viking is the cheapest company out there. But we really liked the everything included in the price. Our cruise included Free Airfare which saved us a lot on money. Every step of the way, we had FIRST CLASS treatment. From being greeted at the arrival ...

Our cruise had been postponed for a few years and it turned out that it was worth the wait. Viking's attention to detail was perfect on every level. We stayed in the Explorer Suite which if you can swing it, is a very luxurious way to travel. There is nothing but good when it comes to accommodations, food, service, included and extra activities and staff. The guides in the cities we stopped in ...
